   why the mixup on the date? Is it 20 or 19 years? Or does that first year of captivity not count? 🙂

   Congratulations, B! Who knew you could afford to keep her liquored up for so many years?

   Congrats, Bing and Bride!
   Ken, I suspect that Mr. B piles the drink and food on thick in front NJ Sue. What else could it be?

   (with apologies to Sgt. Pepper)
   It was twenty years ago next year
   that Bingley made his Bride his career
   they’d been dating for a little while
   his poor bride; it was such a trial
   plied with gin until she said “i do”
   (her waking up is what he fears!)
   Bingley’s Bride’s the finest in the land!
   Bingley’s Bride’s the finest in the land
   I thought that I should let you know
   Bingley’s Bride’s the finest in the land
   The heavens have declared it so
   Bingley’s Bride’s the finest
   Bingley’s Bride’s the finest
   Bingley’s Bride’s the finest in the land
   She’s beautiful and charming
   she laughs at my bad puns
   we sit and drink our wine at night
   there’s never been a finer sight
   my love, my wine at night!
   I could go on and on for several days
   but your eyes i know would start to glaze
   so let me end by saying this:
   with my Bride my life is total bliss.
   so join with me and raise your beer
   and give my bride a rousing cheer:
   Bingley’s Bride’s the finest in the land

   I read the blogs today, oh boy
   Bingley’s Bride’s the finest in the land
   A crowd of people said “hurray”
   But I just had to gasp
   I’ve seen his photograph
   They’re married nineteen years today
   We’d like to wish them a few dozens more
   A crowd of people wish them well
   They just keep going on
   Nobody was really sure
   But Bingley might have paid them off…

   Happy anniversary!!!
   That image must be the answer to that staged photo of the groom trying to escape out the sacristy window.

   Happy 19th Anniversary to my darling sister and my incomparable bother-in law! Love you both and wish you many, many happy more years…

    I am so eTERNALLY delighted that NJSue’s horrible lapse in judgment and miserable bad luck resulted in my being able to boast the BESTEST of all sister-in-laws as MINE! It completely makes up for Bingley being Bingley and is the smartest move he’s ever made. Happiest of happys and all our love!

    Oh, most excellent, ‘Fly! And sadly for you, you’ve seen the real McCoy, and not just a mere photo.
    Good thing extensive therapy is covered by the health plan.
